The GMAT is a computer adaptive exam for admission to M.B.A. programs. Most selective business schools weigh the GMAT along with the candidate’s undergraduate grade point average and work experience. The GMAT is accepted as an alternative to the LSAT by a few law schools.
Our GMAT Tutoring Program
Our approach to the GMAT is rigorous and educational. We emphasize the core concepts in math, reading, logic, and grammar that serve as the foundation of material tested on the GMAT. Our students often find that as they complete our GMAT program, they also see improvements in their other academic and professional work.
Students work intensively with their tutors to master essential principles and develop problem-solving strategies. Weekly meetings, homework assignments, and full-length practice tests, including computer tests, help our students excel on the exam.
Contact us to speak to a program consultant to discuss your goals and schedule a diagnostic GMAT.
Program Length
We recommend that students devote 3–4 months to preparing for the GMAT. Whether the test-taker is currently a college student, a recent graduate, or an experienced professional, the GMAT requires long-term, thorough study. We will tailor an academic plan responsive to each student's particular needs and goals.

How is the GMAT Scored?
- The total score is scaled from 200 to 800 and comprises the Quantitative and Verbal sections.
- The Integrated Reasoning section is scored from 1 to 8 in one-point increments.
- The Analytical Writing Assessment is scored 1 to 6 in half-point increments. Until April 8, 2021, the GMAT Online does not include this score; administrations on and after April 8 will include the AWA.
When is the GMAT Taken?
Because the test is administered on computer and online, testing dates are flexible throughout the year. Students usually need to sign up about one month before their intended test date. Students can take the in-person test once every 16 calendar days, no more than five times within any rolling 12-month period, and no more than eight times in a lifetime. Students can take the GMAT Online no more than twice, and GMAT Online administrations do contribute to the annual and lifetime limits.
